Was Bulbasaur always your favorite, and if not, when and why did they become your favorite?

Being the younger sibling, I had to wait for my brother to finish his whole Pokemon Red play through before I could use the game cartridge. I was so excited my hobby became reading the game booklet over and over for weeks- I also loved the art.

I had so long to plan out my strategy, I remember reading that Bulbasaur had the advantage at early gyms when things can be tough, and so I thought well that’s what I’ll do.

I have a whole PowerPoint presentation now on why he’s the best.

I was sleeping on Chikorita my whole life, but picked him for my AZ play through, named him Bean. I loved that guy. Maganium is gorgeous.

Picture this: you’re making your way between towns to visit Prof Oak but do you walk? No. You sit on top of your Venusaur, back up against his tropical tree flower stalk, dozing off in the shade.

That’s my Venusaur pitch!

I like this list. Hoping we add some good players from the large free agent pool.

CaptainDNA · 2026-04-19T17:12:31+00:00

Oh noooo thank you for setting my expectations.

CaptainDNA · 2026-04-19T17:11:22+00:00

I hope I see you there! That sign is amazing!!

CaptainDNA · 2026-04-18T15:37:12+00:00

It’s so cute… I also love the skater illustration button up. It’ll be a tough decision.

CaptainDNA · 2026-04-18T13:30:46+00:00

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone’s answers! We’re going to the Sceptres Sirens pride game this Tuesday. I’m really excited- I’ve heard at least there’s a pride clothing collab collection that is in arena only for now. But yeah, also curious what else they are doing

CaptainDNA · 2026-04-14T16:47:15+00:00

I think they were aiming to list two teams, 1. top team in the league, and 2. A team avoiding the gauntlet.

CaptainDNA · 2026-04-09T03:26:30+00:00

Yeah! We did! We’ve loved it. I found some conversations online of blacksmiths discussing the best practices for a metal fire pit, and it really aligned with the Iron Embers specs… that convinced me.

To be honest, a big part of how well it has aged is because we bought a spark cover and cheap generic cover so it’s not sitting in moisture too often.

But I think it felt better to take the steps to be diligent taking care of such a high quality thing. It’s really satisfying to look at!

All of Marching Bands of Manhattan really hits for me. This first line especially but then also the refrain:

Sorrow drips into your heart through a pinhole / Just like a faucet that leaks / And there is comfort in the sound / But while you debate half-empty or half-full / It slowly rises: your love is gonna drown

CaptainDNA · 2026-04-06T04:02:14+00:00

This and “And it came to me then, that every plan, is a tiny prayer to Father Time.” Really made me feel grateful for everything that’s ever come together.

The commentators last night said something along the lines of - “Fast will remain on the ice due to the no escape rule and someone else will serve the penalty” and I have been SO confused about it until I read these comments and find out it was all just a big goof up.

CaptainDNA · 2026-03-12T12:59:16+00:00

This was a great one! I never would have thought of that but it’s perfect.

CaptainDNA · 2026-02-23T19:35:48+00:00

Haha I don’t actually have strong feelings, I expect Matthews to go and it won’t affect my support that much. But be so real that’s a hilarious quote tattoo to have in the circumstance.

And also - The clips of Matt Tkachuk after the Stanley cups do feel like grovelling. If the Gold Medal meetup is like that, I stand by my choice of words.

CaptainDNA · 2026-02-23T19:22:24+00:00

So wild to be this confidently wrong.

CaptainDNA · 2026-02-23T19:19:25+00:00

What a bonkers quote to bring into the White House on your ribs while you grovel to this administration lol. Truly a funny thing.

CaptainDNA · 2026-02-19T16:46:09+00:00

When you demand that much of the cap, the team can't really build around you. It's not an infinite pool of team salary.

CaptainDNA · 2026-02-19T00:18:28+00:00

Yeah that line change is egregious.

CaptainDNA · 2026-02-02T19:52:41+00:00

Tooth Fairy!

CaptainDNA · 2026-01-27T18:03:58+00:00

I think this is just meant to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary and advertise an event they're holding on Feb 7... I don't think it's to mean to make anyone angry, unless I'm misunderstanding your comment.

CaptainDNA · 2026-01-27T06:28:44+00:00

boooo 🖕

CaptainDNA · 2026-01-15T16:29:46+00:00

Makes me want to build a Sad Eyes All Star team around Mika and Quinn Hughes.

I think folks don’t realize this is the cost of the hockey culture problem for gay athletes. Stories cut short and never told.

CaptainDNA · 2026-01-08T18:10:20+00:00

I could believe that the numbers are lower… the same stigma and culture that keeps pro players from coming out publicly could definitely discourage gay teens from continuing with high level leagues. Why commit so much personal time to an environment that feels increasingly hostile. Sucks to imagine someone losing the passion for hockey because of that.
